SUPER CLARETS vs Oxford United - Match Thread

[Clevedon Claret]

Great skills there

[rexe78202]

Foster is fine once he's finally controlled it. Good when the ball is on the ground.

[rexe78202]

I can't believe I'm saying this but the referee has actually been ok.

[Rick_Muller]

Hindsight is wonderful isn't it. Bore off.

Try supporting the team, while the game is on…

Just a thought…

[tally]

yellow for will volks

[JimmyRobbo]

Booking probably right.

[tally]

and another corner to us

Try not slagging other fans off, whilst the game is on. Fans are entitled to their opinions and frustrations without being told they aren't "propper fans". Keep your "thoughts" to yourself if they're not pleasant.

[HollandsPies]

Good first half, I've enjoyed that.
Good to see everyone contributing.

[NickBFC]

Finishing aside, a better half and more exciting.

[rexe78202]

Yep decent half and I think 2 or 3-0 would have been nearer to what it should have been but will take it.

[rosswallacefreekick]

On another night, we’re 4 or 5 up. Hope we come out and blow them away second half.

[ElectroClaret]

HT.
Should be three up at the very least.
But at least we're creating the chances.

[Bigvince]

Hannibal and Anthony outstanding that half

I’ll slag off who I like thanks, especially if they’re jumping on a bandwagon unfairly criticising one of our own players.

Now run along and support the team

[ksrclaret]

Egan-Riley’s passing has been immense again. He even pinged one on his left foot with the same quality.

Hannibal has been hugely impressive too. Good on him.

[Goliath]

Played well in spells. As usual the front 3 aren't making the most of it.

[Devils_Advocate]

Brilliant first half. Just hope we can get a second early in second half as would be a shame if we ended up having to shut up shop and hold on to a 1-0 for last 20 mis after how well we've played

[Ptgclaret]

Hannibal has looked brilliant tonight.

[123EasyasBFC]

Should be game over, foster won’t get a better chance for a confidence boosting goal

[Bosscat]

Its back that wonderful half time kicking thingy to the centre spot

[xxmunkyennuixx]

Proof we needed a striker. Anthony is having a great game.

[Rick_Muller]

Could have been 4-0 up after 15 minutes tonight. Need to back the players IMO, the negativity inside the ground must certainly be affecting their confidence. Get behind them and lift them up.

[Shaggy]

Edward’s on for Foster and Shelvey on for Laurent at HT and really go at them

[Dyched]

Good performance, much better. Poor finishing, but you expect that.

[rexe78202]

No obvious sub so far. Foster has been fine once he has control of the football it's just it can take him 5 seconds for that to happen.

[whiffa]

I’ll slag off who I like thanks, especially if they’re jumping on a bandwagon unfairly criticising one of our own players.

Now run along and support the team

The irony of "I'll slag off who I like" from someone adorning the mantra of "stop slagging off Foster". Give your head a wobble, embarassing yourself.

Back to the football discussion please.

[Tufty]

I'm not exaggerating, but this is the first game I've seen in a while, and going off the comments made about previous games I thought I'd bring a good book with me.

Well, I have to say, I have hardly taken my eyes off this one. A deserved ht lead and some lovely football played.

[Longsider]

I thought we looked very good in that half. Some really skillful play. Need to get another early on and then Muller them.

[JimmyRobbo]

I’ll slag off who I like thanks, especially if they’re jumping on a bandwagon unfairly criticising one of our own players.

Now run along and support the team

I like you defending the players.

Foster has been his usual frustrating self. Good bits and bad bits. We all want him to do well.

[BurnleyFC]

Some good stuff that half, the game should be out to bed already.

Oxford are the worst side we’ve faced at home this season.

[GetIntoEm]

Surprised to see the moaning. We've absolutely dominated them. Good first half performance. Will put them to the sword in the 2nd. Despite the agenda again foster on here currently, I think he's played fairly well

[whiffa]

Edward’s on for Foster and Shelvey on for Laurent at HT and really go at them

Agree with this, I'd really like us to go aggressive - Oxford are there for the taking imo.

[FCBurnley]

Flemming missed two sitters then disappeared! Oxford should have equalized late on. We need to keep the pressure on them and not sit back and defend as We normally do

[gtclaret]

Very good half, they looked like they wanted to score, let's make it two, please don't try to see the game out at 1-0

[Tufty]

Hope we can keep the tempo up and get a 2nd. Passing accuracy of 90% first half. Impressive in such a high tempo game.

[xxmunkyennuixx]

Could have been 4-0 up after 15 minutes tonight. Need to back the players IMO, the negativity inside the ground must certainly be affecting their confidence. Get behind them and lift them up.

Crowd have been supportive.

[RVclaret]

Good first half from us. Patterns of play spot on. Need to keep playing high and look for the second.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

Well that was an enjoyable half. You can't blame Parker tonight for our bl00dy awful finishing. We should be 3 up at the very least !

[Rick_Muller]

Back to the football discussion please.

I’ve been absent for a few weeks from here because there was a pile on me when I dared to critique our manager and wanted us to be a little more expansive. I don’t want to derail the thread so I’ll apologise for my comments.

Enjoy the second half

[me01jh]

Hannibal, Cullen and Anthony have been very impressive. We just lack that final piece of composure... game should have been done and dusted, we've battered them.

[ElectroClaret]

Get a second and we'll get three or four.

[Tricky Trevor]

No obvious sub so far. Foster has been fine once he has control of the football it's just it can take him 5 seconds for that to happen.

He just hasn’t. He had an easy lay in for Flemming and hit the first defender, who wasn’t even in the line of the pass to Flemming. He’s missed a wonderful chance. He’s let two simple receptions of good passes go out of play and the one that annoyed me most just before HT a very long ball was played up to him, he barely had to move to bring it down with his boot and he ended up jumping for a challenged header.
Apart from his pass to Cullen for the goal most of his passes have gone astray.
A 4 at best.

[billyhamilton82]

Great first half everyon eplayed well

Just one small gripe.

Would like to see Foster up top and a "proper" left winger Edwards? as I have no idea why we persevere with him out of position.

[whiffa]

Likewise and apologies Rick, shouldn't have reacted to your comment like that. We all want what's best for the team.

[HunterST_BFC]

should be 4or5 -1

[burnley007]

People can't do that on here. They love causing an argument.

[JimmyRobbo]

I don't think we need to be too aggressive.

They'll have to come at us and then we'll open them up.

[whiffa]

People can't do that on here. They love causing an argument.

That discussion is over, don't throw fuel back on the fire please. Second half time.

[Conroy92]

Can't fault parker or the game plan today . Should have been 5 up at half time but for poor finishing.

Hoping for a couple more goals this half.
